If I had to guess at a possible future, I can imagine edge computing servers that connect over 5G or fiber to your device. On these edge computing servers, they predict using AI/ML what you, as a participant, could do (video including facial and hand gestures, audio including Toastmaster type fillers like ahh, umm) in the next 50-60ms or longer and transmit their guess using rendered video frames and audio in time for the other videoconferencing participants to see “no latency” interaction. Done right, it would seem real. Done wrong, definite Max Max Head Headroom feel.
